Description
In this feminist reimagining of Sleeping Beauty, there’s no prince to save the day and the women at the heart of the story are their own saviors.
"Beautifully written and atmospheric, Spellbound is a fresh, imaginative take on the classic fairytale you thought you knew." ―Sophie Keetch, author of Morgan Is My Name
In a remote castle perched atop a windswept island, a long-awaited royal heir is born. In accordance with ancient custom, a blessing ceremony takes place to bestow the princess with magical gifts—along with a terrible curse. Except this is not the love story you may think you know. There is no enchanted sleep for the princess, and no handsome prince to come to her rescue. Just three women, who together concoct a desperate plan of misdirect that changes the course of all their lives. But dark magic cannot be tricked, and as the end of the curse edges closer, Violanna, Meredyth and Sel have a choice to make. They can wait to find out if the worst will happen, or they can turn to face the coming storm . . .
"A deliciously magical novel and an absolute delight to read. I devoured it!" ―Menna Van Praag, author of The Sisters Grim
"Immersive, magical, and of course, spellbinding … this book is sheer joy." ―Naomi Kelsey, author of The Burnings
